Why do the names in the bible refer to anglo names? Names like Peter, Paul, Mathew, Mary, Joseph, Luke, etc.... were not the names used in the region and at that time.
Anyone who knows about this would be kind by explaining it to me.

Aramaic language resembles modern Hebrew about as much as Latin resembles Italian. Clearly the more modern language has roots in the formerly spoken tongue, but communication would be faltering, at best.
Even American English and that version spoken in Great Britain are approaching the degree of mutual incomprehensibility. And that separated only about a couple of hundred years.

Yes Aramaic but also Hebrew and likely Greek as Greek was the language of trade in that day.
